The first postwar Mercury was introduced in the 1949 model year. The flathead V8 was upped to 255 CID and now producing 110 horsepower—slightly more power than the also newly designed 1949 Ford Coupe. A new overdrive system was optional, activated by a handle under the dash. The Mercury Eight used full instrumentation found in round dials, two on either side of the large central speedometer, and an optional eight-tube radio and electric clock were centered on the dashboard. The styling of the Mercury Eight, when it was released in 1949, adopted the “pontoon” appearance, and was successful in both ending the monotony of warmed-over pre-war style, and differentiating Mercury from its comparable Ford cousin, a trick that spelled sales success. The 1949 Mercury Eight production totaled an astounding 301,307 units, far and away Mercury's best ever year.

In 1952, Cadillac was celebrating their 50-year golden anniversary. They needed an exquisite vehicle to epitomize their momentous milestone. The Cadillac Eldorado™ was the answer. The first generation of the Eldorado was produced from 1952 to 1953 only. It was the most expensive vehicle in their lineup. The sweeping lines, golden emblems, and breathtaking chrome detailing was irresistibly luxurious and 100% Cadillac quality.

The name Eldorado loosely translates from Spanish to “The Golden One.” It also references ElDorado, the South American lost city of gold. If Cadillac set out to establish the gold standard of luxury, they succeeded with the Eldorado.

The 1956 Ford F-100 was instantly recognizable with its period-trendy wrap-around windshield and vertical A-pillars. This created a smoother, more rounded appearance unique to this model year. Another notable design element revision compared to the previous F-series model years was the heavily-revised grille. It’s hard to deny that the 1956 grille adds a look that's more classic, understated, and streamlined. The 1956 Ford F-100 came with either a 133hp 223ci “Cost Clipper” V6, or the 167hp 272ci “Power King” V8, making It the most powerful pickup Ford had ever made.

For the final year of the Tri-Fives, Chevrolet designers added an exclamation point to the already-popular full-size 1955 and 1956 Chevy Bel Air. The swept lines became longer, the fins grew larger, and the front grill was nothing short of bold...and GOLD. The 1957 Chevy Bel Air became one of the most recognizable cars in the entire car industry. In fact, it became an icon of an entire era. Over 65 years later, there are few things more quintessentially American than baseball, mom’s apple pie, or a 1957 Chevy Bel Air.

The 1957 Bel Air was only available with a V8. Only two carbureted versions were offered initially: a 162hp dual-barrel or a 180hp four-barrel. Later in the year, a larger 283 V8 was released, also with a four-barrel carb, making 220hp. The ultimate option was the rare and expensive fuel-injected 283 shared with the Corvette making 283hp. These were dubbed “fuelies”.
